matwell Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 David, Thanks for all the screenshots! I'm extremely excited about Logic 8. There have been many criticisms mentioned here already, which I don't really understand. Apple is more and more "Apple-izing" Logic! Isn't that what we wanted? Personally, I love it. Anyway, enough soapboxing: Here's my screenshot requests... 1) SMPTE set to 23.976 2) Two (or more) audio tracks, bussed to an aux with plug-ins on it (EQ, compression), and then bus that aux to an audio track, for printing stems in real-time. ::crosses fingers:: Please, please let those features be there! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 would love to get your book David ASAP..

calvin200001 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 David, this is probably a bad question, but are you offering a pdf?(I'd pay the same price as the book naturally) Reason is, I have trouble reading, but if the new os can read it to me, I think i can get through it.

chinamink Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 so David, here's a question for ya. Since you've obviously been working on this book, how long did you know about LP8 before it's official release? hmmm, hmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvin200001 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 ah good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biff_larken Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I'm also curious as to how long he's known about LS8, but if he can't tell, he can't tell, no big deal. Can't wait for your book! Might ask for it for christmas, as I'll be trying to save up for the new Logic. I'm curious... does the new logic do four-point editing when cutting and crossfading audio?

David Nahmani Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 but if he can't tell, he can't tell, no big deal. Thanks for understanding. http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/95/50/23495095.jpg I'm curious... does the new logic do four-point editing when cutting and crossfading audio? What's four point editing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biff_larken Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 four-point editing is used in a few turnkey systems (I think the Sadie systems use it, not sure). It's where you can basically take the end of one audio file and the beginning of another and when you want to fade one into another, you actually have a dynamic visual overlapping of the two files. In other words, the two audio pieces can be placed in the same space, and you can see them both on the same track and edit/fade accordingly.

Thanks again! OK, so I'm an idiot: I just downloaded the manual and found that Logic 8 does support 23.976! I'm still looking for confirmation of being able to set a bus as an input for an audio track. I very, very regularly print mixes as stems, and being able to print them in real-time makes a huge difference for meeting deadlines. Anyone, please? Maybe even a screenshot?

Mr H Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 From the looks of the manual it's not real 4 point editing. It also sucks that you can't fade an apple loop without bouncing to a normal file first. On a quad or octo system that's gonna be a real waste of a nanosecond : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarov Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 so David, here's a question for ya.

bryla Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 How is the single-window interface on a dual monitor setup? anyone with experience here?? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musick Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 It's not a single window interface, it's the same as it was. The only thing is that you can switch on/off panes in the arange, making working on a single monitor quicker/easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josaka Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 hi.. a few questions.. global track editing.. does it behave correctly these days? ie no double click for undo does it edit the automation properly without regions?(cut and insert audio) does it edit the buss automation properly ? do the busses have sends?(cant find a buss fader pic anywhere..) does the new audio edit window have markers? can I use say.. a sequencer from reaktor(or whatever) to control my external synths.? do the control assignments update too? have they altered this at all? ta in advance..

bryla Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Thanks musick another question: We probably all have a lot of exs instruments, 3rd party effect plug-ins and virtual instruments. Does Logic 8 locate and use those automatically or do I have to move them around?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musick Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Don't know but I read on this forum you have to relocate them yourselves to the new locations. (LS uses a different path for them?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamink Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 when i installed LP8 it found and scanned all my added 3rd party plugs with no problems. gForce synths, NI stuff, Zebra, Drumagog, etc, etc, that had been installed under LP7. So i didn't have to reinstall any of my plugs for LP8 which was very nice indeed. There are some linkage issues with certain exs samples that aren't linked to properly. i think there's a thread going on about this over at the apple forums and i think it's fixable but i haven't personally had time to sort it out yet.

Kent Sandvik Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 The default location for AU plugins has been for a long time /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components or ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components. Anything outside this location will not be scanned or found by Logic, and most other DAWs that use AUs. --Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBottom Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 (edited) Hey chinamink I'm going crazy trying to find the system performance. Where the hell did you find it? The only way I can open the system performance is thru a song that I had locked and saved an environment with it. I'm looking all over the menu and I don't see jack.

Kent Sandvik Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hey chinamink I'm going crazy trying to find the system performance. Where the hell did you find it? The CPU and hard disk performance is now in the transport bar, or, if you want a separate window, double-click on these load meters in the transport bar. Hey, it paid off to put the Logic 8 PDF manual on my laptop for quick searches! --Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the search on the PDF file and it didn't show up. Maybe I'm overwhelmed by this program. Man I feel like I'm starting all over again.
